Or perhaps you have a favorite work of art? There are so many options to choose from such as the soft palette of the Impressionists, bold lines of Art Deco, or vibrant colors of Pop Art.<\/p>\r\n<p>This year\u2019s challenge is to create a quilt or quilted object inspired by the art world. Items can be any size but must be quilted. Challenge items will be revealed at the June meeting. Have fun<\/p>\r\n<h2>RAFFLE QUILT<\/h2>\r\n<p>Thanks to everyone who bought tickets for our 2025 group quilt. We donated $1500+ from the proceeds to the Columbus Metropolitan Library Foundation.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/qquilters.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raffle24-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-830 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/qquilters.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raffle24-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/qquilters.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raffle24-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-829 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/qquilters.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raffle24-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Quintessential Quilters!
